DON'T MARRY!: A Comically Annotated Guide to 19th-Century Matrimonial Mistakes (The Victorian Guide to Rigid Morality) - Softcover
Synopsis
Love is Blind. The Law is Not.
In 1891, James W. Donovan wrote a book called Don't Marry. It wasn't a romance novel; it was a warning label.
He warned against marrying flirts, debtors, complainers, and anyone with "cold feet." He viewed marriage not as a sacrament, but as a high-risk contract with a 50% failure rate.
Annotated by The Jaded Divorce Attorney, this edition treats Victorian courtship like a hostile corporate merger.
Learn how to avoid:
- The "Fixer-Upper": Why marrying a project is a bad investment.
- The Financial Liability: How to spot a suitor who is just looking for a loan.
- The In-Law Trap: Why living with his mother is a breach of contract.
- The "Fatal Flaw": Why that cute quirk will be grounds for divorce in five years.
